squeezed under pressure

suddenly i feel down.

a lot lot of things to do.. i can't even sit there manage them.. and the result.. no satisfactory progress in any of them..

it's not just my work.. home too.. other stuff too..

the irritating thing is that when u r working on a task for someone requiring me to go that person. and when i manage to go there and i called him first.. he simply postpones it to another time.. !!!!!
ignoring all the pressure i'm going through... i am not able and that free to go there twice a day..

when u have a lot of things to do and someone irresponsibly wastes ur time and effort.. this is very irritating.. i'm going mad because of it.. actually it makes me feel down more and more..

i think i need a ToDo list with priorities...

when i was thinking of reducing my tasks to reduce the pressure i realized that i have two sets of tasks: things that i have to do. and things that i want to do.
of course there can be stuff that belongs to the two sets at the same time.

so what..

should i let go the things i really want to do in order to sring the list ?!!!!!! i don't know.. just thinking of the idea depresses me.

should i let go the things i have to do? i'm not that moody guy who is inresponsible and can't be depended on.. that's not me..

i thought of communication to the people that i have a lot of things to do so they leave me alone and do not disturb me.. but the fact i found is that they do not consider what i want.. actually they do not consider even stuff that i have to do as long as they do not see it as a must..
i'm not going to argue with everyone to convince him that i have to do something.. why he puts his nose in anyway

it's for me to decide..

it all goes to me in the end.. yes.. it does..

Good idea to have a to do list with ur "own" defined priorities, may b break anything u want to do into smaller things.

Just stop feeling down, nthg is worth it and besides what's it good for?! it won't help u b more productive, right?

u'll just waste more time on a silly feeling that can b fought easily. It's just a state of mind & surely it's in ur hands to fix it :)

i guess your to-do list was a failure!!! u didn't write anything in your blog for the last 3 months , that means either of 2 things
1. u didn't do a to-do list
2. u made a to-do list and didn't respect it

i guess writing in your blog and checking your favorite blogs should be put on your weekly to-do list

good luck

Success of Startups

Entrepreneurship has become one of the one of the most interesting topic in the business side in any country in the world. While it is digging its way in the middle east, there is some sort of confusion and a lot of aspects related to that topic. A Startup can act and advance to tackle business opportunities in a way that competes with large enterprises. and most of the times, they need to be supported by Investors to back them up. One of the things that started to really bother me in the culture is the definition of success of a startup. No one denies that a decent revenue generating startup is a successful one. However, some people believe that just raising an investment is a success.... umm, debatable. I believe we can make some kind of analogy with some entities that showed up in the past decade like biznas and skybiz (I'm sure some of you will remember those names).   they used an invalid scheme summarized as: People can register and join the network for a fee (as an i

Prime Numbers Generator

did u know that 34136029 is a prime number?!! well.. that's what i recently realized :) I thought of writing a piece of code for that purpose.. wondering how far i can get. The idea of the code is simple We know that 2 and 3 are prime numbers the code checks every following odd numbers to be prime or not. To verify a prime number, the number divisibility by the prime numbers generated so far is checked. (29 is a prime number.. because it id not divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 nor 23) We only need to verify divisibility against the numbers smaller than or equal to the root of the number in hand. (We needn't check the divisibility of 33 with 11, as we already must have found out it is divisible by 3).. I did not want to go with the mathematical root evaluation as i am not sure about its load. I used bits handling instead. the root of a number uses at most half of the number of bits that the original number uses. i only made a naive java implementation so far. downloa

Converting a batch of files of csv format to xls or xlsx

While working with data, we tend to deal a lot with CSV files. It is more efficient and trivial to manipulate csv data either through command line tools or through programming languages like ruby. However, occasionally we need to convert files to MS Excel format before sending them to 3rd party. Gnumeric is a wonderful opensource spreadsheet program.  It contains a command line convertion tool called ssconvert that can be used to perform direct conversion among lots of supported formats easily from the command line. For example, conversion from csv to xlsx can be done via ssconvert  file.csv file.xlsx OR ssconvert  file.csv --export-type=Gnumeric_Excel:xlsx It can be installed in ubuntu via apt-get install gnumeric In order to convert lots of files, I wrote a simple bash script that will process all csv files in the current directory and generate the corresponding xlsx files.  The script came pretty handy in data preparation. I believe i can be helpful to many people
